Description
As this young male fills his lungs he begins to hoot. He uses this as a form of communication, telling his family where he is, where some delicious snacks can be found, or to show strength and dominance. As well as a great way to communicate, he also finds it enjoyable, building up to his loudest and highest voice before coming back down.

The pan-hoot is a complex long-distance vocalisation for chimps. It can be separated into four distinct groups: introduction, build-up, climax and let-down. They start soft and low, getting faster in the build-up, becomes very loud and high, like a scream, then back down to a similar rate of the build-up to finally finish.

The pan-hoot is done by both male and females with the most frequent hooters being high-ranking males. It is commonly joined by other males to produce a chorus of call, but it can be an individual hoot too.

Hooting is done for many reasons. Chorusing is used to form cohesive groups of males and show dominance and strength. But chimps also hoot hen they see a fruit tree laden with delicious snacks, calling the others to come and join them. It is also a good way to communicate who you are, where you are, and to help distinguish who is in the group.

HOW TO HELP 
​Based off real animals that Gillie and Marc met while studying, the public will be able to meet individual animals. This will help them to realise that there are apes with unique personalities, thoughts and emotions. The loss of one individual is just as devastating as losing an individual human.

With public art, more people will come into contact with these sculptures, will stop and consider them, will take a photograph, and will discuss this with their friends and family. Through this increased exposure, the message of love, family, and conservation will be spread much further than any piece of art in a gallery ever could. It will bring people into close contact and will help them to fall in love. With love comes a greater urge to want to create a change and save the great apes.

​The sculpture will be aligned with the hashtags #LoveTheLast and #ChimpsAreFamily to raise unparalleled awareness about the sculpture’s cause across the globe.

Description
Artemis and Athena are the sweetest of friends. They are older ladies who have been in the same family for a long time. They were always there to groom each other, share food, and offer oodles of affection. They really are best friends for life.

It’s not only us who can make friends, chimps do too! Chimps can often be seen eating together, grooming each other, cuddling, holding hands, but it wasn’t entirely understood to what extent they were actually friends. As it turns out, they are.

In a study done in the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Kenya, chimps were observed to see how they interacted with each other, being paired as friends and non-friends. Once this was established, the researches gave them a task called “the trust game”. Here, each chimp got two choices, they can pull the “no-trust rope” which gives themselves a small non-desirable food (two banana pieces), or it can pull the “trust rope” which gives the other chimp they were paired with a much tastier and larger snack (three banana pieces and three apple slices). The important part was that if they pulled the “trust rope”, their pair has the option to pull it back, therefore giving them a big snack too. 

The study found a big connection with friendship in this task. They were far more likely to pull the “trust rope” if they were friends with their paired chimp than if they weren’t friends. To put it simply, they trust their friends more. It seems that they can form deep emotional bonds with their friends.

Description
This young chimp has a lot to learn. He does this through imitation. Watching his mother closely he learns the important skills that any good chimp must know. He must learn to find food, build a nest, and use tools, as well as many more skills! He is a very eager student so he should have no trouble at all.

GENDER
Female and Male

AGE
14 and 4

Imitation is a very important skill for learning. Young will copy the actions of those around them as they learn how to do things and react to stimuli. Chimpanzee are no different. But this is not a skill that all apes have, in fact, most apes are terrible at it. This just goes to show how close we are to our cousins.

Young chimps will often imitate as they learn how to use tools, how to climb, how to make a nest. A young chimpanzee will often be seen pulling leafy sticks down like their mother will when its time to build a nest. By observing their community and copying, young chimps will be able to learn all the skills necessary for survival.

Imitation is also seen on a spontaneous level. Chimps have been seen to catch yawns, just like we do. This has always been known as a sign of empathy. But it’s not just yawns, like human babies, chimps will mimic any facial expression. These sorts of imitations are not about learning any new skills, its more about social bonding.

Description
Max had been around for quite some time. He was an older chimp and had lived through many things, some of them good and some of them very difficult. But with these experiences, he gained wisdom. His family looked up to him, always turning to him when they were in need of advice. Now, Max has turned to you to share some of his wisdom. He has an important message that you must listen to: learn to live in harmony with all of nature. That is where true happiness can be found.

Artwork Features
In this highly expressive and passionate style Gillie and Marc have let their emotions run free in this explosive collection of freehand painting. Inspired by the styles of Brett Whiteley, Francis Bacon, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Gillie and Marc have combined enamel paint with oil pastel to breathe life into the worlds most endangered species. Over the past five years, Gillie and Marc spent hours sketching and studying wildlife, travelling the globe to meet these animals up close. These sketches have now been brought to life in vibrant colour with love and passion. Each painting is created as a team with both the artists bringing their own emotion into every painting. 

Please note: All canvases come stretched and ready to hang, however if you would like your painting to be framed, Gillie and Marc are happy to provide this service for you at your request. For framing enquiries please email us. 

Care Instructions

Chuckles the Chimp had his name for a reason. He loved to laugh. He laughed a lot, finding the funny side of everything. Whenever anything was even the slightest bit funny he just couldn’t help it, he would burst out into a fit of laughter! His family were used to it by now, used to the constant outbursts of laughter (which could go on for some time!) But they had to admit, life seemed a bit brighter with Chuckles around.

Description
Chimps are one of our closest relatives sharing 99% of our DNA. This chimp loves his morning stroll as much as we do. There is nothing better than being out in nature, being wild and free. 

Artwork Features
In this highly expressive and passionate style Gillie and Marc have let their emotions run free in this explosive collection of freehand painting. Inspired by the styles of Brett Whiteley, Francis Bacon, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Gillie and Marc have combined enamel paint with oil pastel to breathe life into the worlds most endangered species. Over the past five years, Gillie and Marc spent hours sketching and studying wildlife, travelling the globe to meet these animals up close. These sketches have now been brought to life in vibrant colour with love and passion. Each painting is created as a team with both the artists bringing their own emotion into every painting.

Description

Chimps can be very loving, and a mother’s love can last forever. They can often be seen cuddling and touching each other to form connections and support. These physical acts are incredibly important, helping to develop relationships which are crucial for survival.

Mothers in particular are fantastic examples of the huge love that chimps have. They are kind, play with their babies, and are always there is a flash whenever they cry out.

Description

The pan-hoot is a complex long-distance vocalisation for chimps. It can be separated into four distinct groups: introduction, build-up, climax and let-down. They start soft and low, getting faster in the build-up, becomes very loud and high, like a scream, then back down to a similar rate of the build-up to finally finish.

The pan-hoot is done by both male and females with the most frequent hooters being high-ranking males. It is commonly joined by other males to produce a chorus of call, but it can be an individual hoot too.

Hooting is done for many reasons. Chorusing is used to form cohesive groups of males and show dominance and strength. But chimps also hoot hen they see a fruit tree laden with delicious snacks, calling the others to come and join them. It is also a good way to communicate who you are, where you are, and to help distinguish who is in the group.

Description

Chimpanzees have their own complex system of communication. They may not do it verbally like us, but they sure can be vocal! They also have many facial expressions to convey their messages. This ability to communicate shows a higher level of intelligence.

Chimpanzees use over 30 different vocalisations for different situations. Some of these we would even recognise as similar our own, like a scream when they’re scared or angry, a whimper when distressed, and even a grunt of satisfaction with good food.

Non-verbal communication is also very important. Touch such as holding hands and grooming is incredibly important to show love, support, and build special bonds. They also have very expressive faces. When they’re nervous they will crack what looks like a big toothy smile, smile when they’re happy, when they’re playing, they relax and open their mouth, and they even pout when under threat, begging, or searching for their mothers!

Description

Imitation is a very important skill for learning. Young will copy the actions of those around them as they learn how to do things and react to stimuli. Chimpanzee are no different. But this is not a skill that all apes have, in fact, most apes are terrible at it. This just goes to show how close we are to our cousins.

Young chimps will often imitate as they learn how to use tools, how to climb, how to make a nest. A young chimpanzee will often be seen pulling leafy sticks down like their mother will when its time to build a nest. By observing their community and copying, young chimps will be able to learn all the skills necessary for survival.

Imitation is also seen on a spontaneous level. Chimps have been seen to catch yawns, just like we do. This has always been known as a sign of empathy. But it’s not just yawns, like human babies, chimps will mimic any facial expression. These sorts of imitations are not about learning any new skills, its more about social bonding.

Description

Play is a very important part of any animal, even us! It helps us to learn important skills, build bonds, and to have fun. Chimps are no different and they are very similar to young humans when they play. They’re so similar they would probably have a great time if they were to play together!

While the majority of play is with young chimps, adults also like some fun, often joining in to play with younger members of their community. They wrestle, chase each other, and many other fun activities. Being chased up a tree is very good practice to develop their tree climbing skills. They also play with the tools used by the older chimps, using play to learn how to use them.

Chimps also have another very human characteristic when it comes to play, they laugh. They have what is called a ‘play-pant’ and if you didn’t know any better you could easily mistake it for laughter. Whether they’re being tickled or chased it can be great fun and their face cracks a huge smile. If things get a bit scary the baby can scream and mum will come running to save the day!

Description

Chimpanzees are very adept at being in trees. It is a very important skill for them to have as they spend a good amount of time up there, sleeping, eating, and being a lookout. It is a skill they must perfect from a young age which is often encouraged in play, for example being chased up a tree by an older chimp.

Chimpanzees are physically made for tree climbing. Their curved fingers and toes make it much easier for them to grasp onto branches, a trait that we lost a long time ago. An interesting study of a young chimp who was purchased in the 1930s and raised like a human child showed how the curve remained, despite never having been able to climb a tree (poor chimp).

Description

Chimps have two arms and two legs, yet unlike us, they tend to prefer walking on all fours, making them quadrupedal. Just like us, they have opposable thumbs which they also have on their feet too, known as opposable toes (handy!) To help with walking on all fours, their arms and legs are the same lengths. They bend their long fingers under and walk on their knuckles, yet walk on the sole of their foot. Walking like this makes it easier to climb trees and carry around small it's of food in their knuckles as they wander about.

There are many theories about the evolution of knuckle-walking. Some argue that it originated from fist walking seen in orangutans which adapted for a more terrestrial life, rather than one predominantly in the trees. Others suggest that they may have come from a bipedal ancestor which explains why they also walk bipedally on occasion. Whatever the truth, chimpanzees have adapted to their life on their knuckles very well.

Description

Chimpanzees are not always peaceful. Conflicts can often arise, from minor issues such as who gets the food to large scale warfare. This can be incredibly violent and chimps can even be killed in the process.

Conflict within communities can happen and alliances are important. When a male is trying to overthrow the alpha, things can get violent. With support from other males in the community, the ambitious males can lead great acts of charging to intimidate.

Description

Chimpanzees make their nests in the trees, bending down branches and leaves to make a comfortable leafy bed. High above any predators, chimps can feel safe while they get some shuteye, about 8-9 hours every night (similar to us).

They can be quite fussy about the trees they choose. The branches need to be extremely durable with no risk of them snapping and sending the chimp on an uncomfortable and potentially deadly plummet. A study in Uganda found that chimps loved to build their nests in a tree called the Ugandan ironwood, a very rare tree that only made up 9.6% of the trees in the area. Even so, 7 out of 10 times the chimps would seek them out.

All great apes, including us, are very unique in the fact that we build sleeping platforms or beds. Other primates don’t put in nearly as much effort, electing to fall asleep on branches. This shift to bed making happened sometime between 23-5 million years ago with the purpose of giving us a better night’s sleep. With more time in REM sleep, it improves cognition and memory, very important for our big brains!

Description
Just like us, chimps can find the funny side to things. It is a natural behaviour and young chimps typically start to display this behaviour between 12 to 16 weeks. Laughing is a sign of empathy and is considered to show intelligence. This has disproved a quote by Aristotle that “only the human animal laughs.” It is important to understand these diverse emotions in other animals to know that it is not just us who feel.

When looking at the facial composition during laughter the muscles of a chimp and ourselves are very similar. This could tell us that laughter evolved from our common ancestor with our smiles evolving 5 million years ago!

Description

Grooming is an incredibly important part of chimp life. Not only is it important to stay clean and tidy, but it’s also a fantastic way to strengthen bonds, build alliances, and relax. Chimps can spend a few minutes and even up to a few hours grooming each other, maintaining friendly ties between the community.

To groom, a chimp will remove all dirt, plants, dry skin, and insects from another. In a way, it is a bit like getting a massage or taking a nice bath and is a very relaxing process for the chimp being pampered. Using one hand to part the hair, the chimp will use its other hand and occasionally teeth to remove the unwanted materials.

Grooming is also used to calm a chimp down when it becomes stressed. Infants are groomed during weaning; adults can be groomed to make up after a conflict. Smaller males who could never rely on physical attacks use grooming to build alliances in the community to protect themselves from larger males.

Description
The chimpanzee is our closest living relative, sharing about 99 % of our DNA. It’s even thought that we have a common ancestor who lived sometime between 7-13 million years ago! Through research of we have been able to see some of the magical similarities between us and chimpanzees. We all have our own unique personalities, are incredibly social, can learn basic sign-language, and, most importantly use and make tools. 

There is so much we can learn from chimpanzees which in return, will help to unveil many of the secrets of ourselves. But for this, we must protect them before it’s too late. We must make room in our world for our cousins to flourish. Because only when we learn to live together will we all truly thrive.

Description
The chimpanzee is our closest living relative, sharing about 99 % of our DNA. It’s even thought that we have a common ancestor who lived sometime between 7-13 million years ago! Through research of we have been able to see some of the magical similarities between us and chimpanzees. We all have our own unique personalities, are incredibly social, can learn basic sign-language, and, most importantly use and make tools. 

There is so much we can learn from chimpanzees which in return, will help to unveil many of the secrets of ourselves. But for this, we must protect them before it’s too late. We must make room in our world for our cousins to flourish. Because only when we learn to live together will we all truly thrive.
